IMPROVEMENT IN DOOR-PLATE ATTACHMENTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,699, dated June 13, 1876; application filed API'H'QB, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN W. YOUNG,

' CHARLES A.REED,andW1LLmM H. SHAFER,

of Wheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of West Virginia, have invented a new and ings, forming part of this specification, in I which- Figure 1 is afront elevation representinga door-plate as secured to the door by our invention, one of the bolts being in place, and the other removed, and Fig. 2 is aperspective "iew of the bolt employed for the purpose of securing the plate in place.

Similar letters of reference in the accompanying drawings denote the same parts.

The object of this invention is to provide for public use an improved means of securing to doors door-plates made of cast, molded, or pressed glass, metal, or other material; and the inventionconsists in the employment of a peculiarly-tbrmed bolt, in combination with the door and door-plate, substantially as I will now proceed to set forth.

In the drawings, A represents the doorplate, made of any suitable material, and provided at the ends with recesses a, which embrace about half the body of the fasteningbolts, and with countersinks c, which receive A hole is through which extends the bolt which is secured on the inner side of the door by means of a. screw-nut, a, or the equivalent thereof.

and thepart at being semicircular in its outline, with its convex surface continuous with the convex lateral surface of one side of the part.

m, and being of such depth that the inner flat face will fit against the wood of the door, while the inner flat face of the part m will-fit against a coat of paint, oil, or othersuitable material,

and for the purpose of protecting the letters from the Wet,or from being rubbed or scratched before the plate is secured in place, the rear side of the glass plate may be made concave, or, in other 'words, provided with a raised flange around its edge which fits against the door.

We claim as our invention 1. The bolt M, having the screw-nut n, and the head m. m, constructed substantially as described.

2. The combination of the bolt M m m n, with the plate A, having the recess a, and countersink c, substantially as described.
